Vatican City, Feb 7, 2006 / 22:00 pm
Following his general audience earlier today at the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI fondly recalled Fr. Andrea Santoro, the Roman missionary priest who was gunned down in Turkey over the weekend. He also surprised the crowd with a posthumous letter sent to him from the priest.
Fr. Andreas had just finished saying Sunday Mass and was praying inside of a Trabzon church when he was assassinated by unidentified assailants.
